NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)







NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES



The accompanying consolidated financial statements include accounts of CSB Bancorp, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, The Commercial and Savings Bank (together referred to as the Company or CSB).  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.



The consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Companys financial position at March 31, 2003, and the results of operations and changes in cash flows for the periods presented have been made.



Certain information and footnote disclosures typically included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been omitted.  The Annual Report for CSB for the year ended December 31, 2002, contains consolidated financial statements and related footnote disclosures which should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements.  The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2003, are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year or any future interim period.













CSB BANCORP, INC.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS





ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



The following discussion focuses on the consolidated financial condition of CSB Bancorp, Inc. (the Company) at March 31, 2003, compared to December 31, 2002, and the consolidated results of operations for the quarterly period ending March 31, 2003 compared to the same period in 2002.  The purpose of this discussion is to provide the reader with a more thorough understanding of the consolidated financial statements.  This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim consolidated financial statements and related footnotes.





FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS



Certain statements contained in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements that are subject to certain risks and uncertainties.  When used herein, the terms anticipates, plans, expects, believes, and similar expressions as they relate to the Company or its management are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.  The Companys actual results, performance or achievements may materially differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements.  Risks and uncertainties that could cause or contribute to such material differences include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, interest rate environment, competitive conditions in the financial services industry, changes in law, governmental policies and regulations, and rapidly changing technology affecting financial services.



The Company does not undertake, and specifically disclaims any obligation, to publicly revise any forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events.



FINANCIAL CONDITION



Total assets were $301.8 million at March 31, 2003, compared to $304.7 million at December 31, 2002, representing a decrease of $2.9 million, or 1.0%. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $8.4 million, or 37.1%, during the quarter, including a $10.3 million decrease in federal funds sold. Total securities decreased approximately $3.8 million, or 5.3%, during the quarter.  Since one of the primary functions of the securities portfolio is to provide a source of liquidity, it is structured such that securities maturities and cash flows satisfy the Companys liquidity needs and asset-liability management requirements.



The decreases in cash and cash equivalents and securities were used to fund cash outflows for deposit withdrawals and securities sold under agreements to repurchase which decreased $6.4 million, or     2.6%, and $1.2 million, or 8.1%, respectively, during the quarter.  The Bank has historically experienced an outflow of deposit funds during the first quarter of the year, partially due to the slowdown in tourism.





CSB BANCORP, INC.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS







Net loans increased $9.0 million, or 4.6% from December 31, 2002, to $206.2 million at March 31, 2003.  The loan growth in the first quarter of 2003 was primarily in commercial and commercial real estate loans and residential real estate loans. The allowance for loan losses amounted to $2.6 million, or 1.23% of total loans, at March 31, 2003, compared to $2.7 million, or 1.35% of total loans at December 31, 2002.  The components of the change in the allowance for loan loss during the quarter ended March 31, 2003, included net loan charge-offs of $69,000.  Loans past due more than 90 days and loans placed on nonaccrual status, were approximately $1.3 million, or 0.60% of total loans at March 31, 2003, compared to $1.7 million, or 0.86% of loans at December 31, 2002.



At March 31, 2003, the ratio of net loans to deposits was 88.2%, compared to 82.1% at the end of 2002. The increase in this ratio is due to deposit shrinkage normally experienced during the first quarter along with the loan growth during the three months ended March 31, 2003.



Total shareholders equity increased to $34.0 million, or 11.3% of total assets, primarily due to year-to-date net income of $598,000, less the dividend declared of $316,000.  The Company and its subsidiary met all regulatory capital requirements at March 31, 2003.



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Net income for the quarter ending March 31, 2003, was $598,000, or $0.23 per share, as compared to $376,000, or $0.14 per share during the same period last year, an increase of $222,000, or 58.8%.  The increase was a result of a $324,000, or 13.4%, increase in net interest income and a $106,000, or 3.9%, decrease in non-interest expenses, and a $71,000 credit for loan losses. These increases to net income were partially offset by a $115,000, or                           19.7%, decrease in non-interest income.  The decrease in non-interest income was essentially all due to a $115,000 gain on sale of securities in the first quarter of 2002.



Interest income for the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $4.0 million, a decrease of $355,000, or 8.2%, over the same period last year.  Interest and fees on loans increased $22,000, or 0.7%, with the volume of loan growth more than offsetting the decrease in loan interest yields.  Interest on securities decreased $325,000, or 29.5%, as short term interest rates remained at historically low levels and certain callable securities were redeemed by the issuer.  Other interest income decreased $52,000, or 84.9%, due to federal funds sold being invested to fund growth of the loan portfolio.









CSB BANCORP, INC.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS







Interest expense decreased $679,000, or 35.6%, to $1.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2003, compared to $1.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2002.  Interest expense on deposits decreased $767,000, or 42.8%, from the same period as last year.  This decrease was caused by a $5.3 million, or 2.2%, decrease in interest-bearing deposits, as well as higher rate certificate of deposits renewing at lower rates.



A credit for loan losses of $71,000 was recorded during the first quarter of 2003, as a result of an improvement in asset quality through the reduction and payoff of classified assets.



Non-interest income decreased $115,000 primarily as a result of the gain on sale of investment securities during the 2002 period, as noted previously.



Non-interest expenses decreased $106,000, or 3.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2003, compared to the same period in 2002.  Salaries and employee benefits decreased $44,000, or 3.2%; occupancy expense increased $19,000, or 12.9%; professional and director fees decreased $24,000, or 11.4%; and other expenses decreased $60,000 or 7.9%. The provision for income taxes was $81,000 during the first quarter of 2003, as compared to a credit of $84,000 for the first quarter of 2002.
